Author: Bc. David Svoboda Title: Authentic experiences and recommendations from Olympic champions to build mental resilience and manage the psychological consequences of health problems Objectives: As there are not many surveys and publications dealing with psychological consequences caused by health problems in top- athletes' career, the main purpose of the research was to analyse authentic experience and recommendations, how the selected Olympic winners lived through these periods, what experience they have and what they would recommend to other athletes in this context from the viewpoint of their mental resistance. Furthermore, we will attempt to reveal possible consequences between the athletes' health and mental health. The following aim is to summarise this information into valid recommendations for other sportsmen. Methods: To obtain detailed information, a qualitative method through a structured interview with open questions (Hendl, 2005) was selected. The structured interview was conducted with nine Olympic winners and it contained 12 basic questions that were divided into three main sectors for clarity - a sector of athlete's mental resistance, a sector of athletes' health problems and their consequent reaction and the respondents' ideas and recommendations. The results were subjected to...

Medical and psychosocial impacts on a senior living in a retirement home after losing a life partner
LUKŠAN, Filip
This bachelor's thesis addresses the health and psychosocial impacts on elderly citizens living in a nursing home after the loss of a life partner. The introductory theoretical part deals with the process of ageing and old age in terms of the changes in the body, structure and function. These changes are subject to internal and external stimuli and do not happen in synchronisation with all people. The literature states that a person of old age loses the ability to adapt. The functioning of an individual is restricted in terms of health, psychological and social aspects. This is described in the chapters dedicated to aging. The next chapter describes the impact of a partner's death on an elderly person. The elderly are exposed during this time to a sense of danger, loneliness and emptiness. After the death of a loved one, the daily regime of the individual is disturbed in terms of daily rituals and the meaning of life. A widowed person no longer has someone to live for, many everyday activities become pointless, some lose the essence and the meaning to all activities, which they were previously involved with. The aim of my thesis was to describe what may be the health and psychosocial impacts on elderly citizens living in a nursing home after the loss of a life partner. In order to meet the objective, I have chosen a qualitative research strategy. The data collection methods include a semi-structured interview and observations. The observed group consisted of four nursing home clients who have lost their partners. Two of the clients lost their partner while they were residing at the home, the other two before they decided to move to the nursing home. I also conducted interviews with six employees of the nursing home. As a source of information, I have also used an individual client plan prepared in the nursing home and basic data collected from the documentation. The research was conducted in a timeframe of eight weeks; I conducted three 30 minute interviews with each resident. The applied data processing methods included the biographical research and qualitative content analysis of the recorded interviews, observations and the documents obtained. The research was approved by the management of the nursing home; the text does not identify the respondents. The results are presented in two ways. First, the topic is presented in context, i.e. as the stories of the individual clients, and second as a way of obtaining a more general answer to the research question. The results of my research show that each elderly citizen is affected by their partner's death in a very specific, unique way. It was, therefore, difficult to find any general features, except perhaps that it is a very sad and serious event. I, therefore, believe that it is extremely important to set all health and social care in the nursing home in a non-rigid, flexible way, according to the actual needs of the particular client. The findings of this study could be used as information material for social workers and other social care employees in the nursing home.

Tradicional Chinese medicine and current nursing
ROLANTOVÁ, Lucie
Traditional Chinese medicine is one of the oldest curative methods in the world. It is focused particularly on the support of a body to recover balance and harmony that have become impaired. Owing to the growing number of the Chinese and the Vietnamese minorities in the Czech Republic, the medical staff providing healthcare may meet members of these minorities for whom this medicine may be of a large importance both when being ill and when being healthy. The new conception of the Czech nursing is outlined to provide every individual, regardless of the race, with the care which is able to satisfy their bio-psycho-social-religious needs. The nursing staff must possess a basic knowledge of the traditional Chinese medicine so that they are able to satisfy the needs of these patients/clients better. The objective of this diploma work is to ascertain what health problems are treated by members of the Chinese and the Vietnamese minorities through the traditional Chinese medicine, and what curative methods are used most frequently by them. The empirical part was processed in the form of a qualitative research. The data collection technique was a semi-structured interview of selected informants of the Chinese and the Vietnamese nationalities living in the Czech Republic. Based on the interviews of individual minorities, case studies were established and used as the research base for elaboration of categorization tables and charts presenting the most important results of the research. The main results of the research include the ascertained heath problems which are treated by means of the Chinese medicine by members of both minorities, and the ascertainment what curative methods are used most frequently, and whether the members of both minorities wish to make use of the medicine also during hospitalization. Based on the results of the research, the information material was elaborated that may be of use for the nursing staff in healthcare facilities and for other specialized public as a brief summary of methods of the Chinese medicine and of their application by the members of the Chinese and the Vietnamese minorities.
